Why is Clayton County, GA, Growing?
Clayton County continues to grow as an important part of Metro Atlanta. Its proximity to downtown Atlanta, Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, and major transportation and distribution hubs makes the area great for those seeking economic opportunity, plenty to do, and suburban living close to the city.
Cities across the county, including Jonesboro, Forest Park, College Park, Morrow, Lake City, Lovejoy, and Riverdale, are experiencing a collective resurgence. In fact, data from the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) highlights population growth of over 14.3% since 2010, with projections tracking toward 393,005 residents by 2050. The county also supports a diverse range of industries, including aviation, manufacturing, health services, logistics and distribution, and film and television production, according to Invest Clayton. Its location is about 13 miles from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and about 20 miles from downtown Atlanta. Major interstates help connect businesses and residents to the broader Atlanta region!
Another great benefit of Clayton County is that there is so much to do. If you’re a golfer, or aspiring to be anyway, then both Lake Spivey Golf Club and Crystal Lake Golf & Country Club are just minutes down the road. The new Alpine Way Pocket Park, featuring a skate park, playground, pavilion, and multipurpose area, and Reynolds Nature Preserve are also close by for those looking to enjoy some time outdoors that doesn’t involve golfing. You’re also close to one of the largest Farmers Market in the Southeast, the Atlanta State Farmers Market! 150 acres of local produce and meat to choose from, along with plants and flowers.
